About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior Marketing Manager who is a true full‑stack marketer—someone who can think strategically, execute independently, and manage every part of our marketing engine for the Kuali Academic Operations suite.

As Senior Marketing Manager, you will own the complete marketing lifecycle: develop positioning and messaging, write website copy, produce content, run email and ad campaigns, build ABM programs, host webinars, manage PR opportunities, and support sales enablement. This role combines product marketing and demand generation, requiring an individual who is energized by both strategy and hands‑on execution.

You will collaborate closely with Product, Sales, and Customer Success, while serving as the primary marketing owner for Academic Ops. Your work will have a direct impact on brand perception, the sales pipeline, and customer engagement. This role is fully remote.

• Create narratives that resonate with higher‑ed administrators and leaders

Content & Campaign Execution

• Produce compelling content: blogs, guides, email sequences, one‑pagers, decks, video scripts, and more
• Build and run email campaigns, nurture programs, and multi‑touch funnels

Digital & Demand Generation

• Plan and manage digital advertising campaigns across relevant channels

About You

• You align with Kuali’s values: curiosity, openness, accountability, humility, and a commitment to amazing experiences
• You are a full‑stack marketer with both strategic thinking and hands‑on execution skills
• You’re a resourceful self‑starter who can take a broad vision and translate it into coordinated, high‑quality deliverables
• You communicate clearly and build trust quickly across teams
• You handle shifting priorities and fast‑changing situations with resilience
• You thrive in a remote environment and know how to create connections across distributed teams
• You’re comfortable being the “doer of last resort” when needed
• You’ve owned multi‑channel campaigns in resource‑constrained environments where outcomes mattered more than ego

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of marketing experience in product marketing, content marketing, go‑to‑market, or similar roles at a B2B SaaS company
• Proficiency with HubSpot
• Experience with Google Workspace , Slack , and Zoom
• Demonstrated ability to lead marketing initiatives across strategy, content, campaigns, and analytics

• A truly exceptional benefits package, including 100% company‑paid medical and dental insurance
• 100% 401(k) matching up to 4%
• Paid maternity/parental leave
• Flexible PTO—no accrual limits, no “use it or lose it.” Just work with your manager to make sure the team’s covered, and take the time you need to recharge.
• Encouragement and support for ongoing learning and skill development
• Recognition platform to celebrate contributions with meaningful incentives
• Company retreats to connect, recharge, and collaborate
